Devon, England
Greenway House is an estate on the River Dart in Devon.
Agatha Christie was born in 1890. Her first mystery, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, was published in 1920. During both world wars, she served in hospital dispensaries where she acquired a vast knowledge of poisons that she used in many of her novels.
Her personal life was rife with mystery also. Christie’s famous ‘disappearance’ for 11 days made international headlines.
The Queen of Crime, Dame Agatha Christie is accredited as the all time best-selling fiction author.
She ranks right behind the Bible and the works of William Shakespeare. She wrote 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections, most featuring Hercules Poirot or Miss Jane Marple.
Several movies and plays have been produced from her books, including the longest running play of all time—The Mousetrap.
